Arena server: Crit vote? - Yith - Apr 29, 2010
Wait people that teamstack/spam mindlessly for entire maps are calling what we play a shit game mode?
But yea, I think a VOTE is a perfect idea. Not as harsh as fully disabling them.
Maybe DF can let us try it out for a week or something and see if people like it.

In all seriousness, it's been over a year since this issue was brought up, and the vast majority of people are in favor of turning RANDOM crits off in Arena. Medic Kritz, pee mini, crit-a-cola, first blood, and whatever else would still be perfectly acceptable. Imagine starting match only to be killed by a random nade or crawket, and then watching in spec for 2 minutes until the match ends just because some person got lucky. I feel bad when I get random crits and kill people, because I know exactly how they feel.
I just hope you can look into this sooner rather than later DF.

From what I can tell, I don't think anyone would be opposed to turning off crits in arena. For most people, crits make them rage.

Hoping this is at least acknowledged as an issue.
Today in Arena, the following happened 3 rounds in a row:
1v1, Heavy vs Demo (Eyelander). Demo trying to lure Heavy into a sticky trap, got 1 shot by a crit punch.
Next round, 1v1, Heavy vs Demo (Eyelander). Heavy starts eatign sandvich. Demo gets 4 hits on heavy while eating, Heavy finishes eating, got 1 shot by a crit punch.
Next round, Demo switches to Axe. Same thing happens as above.
It's really quite lame, and most people in the server agree random crits in Arena are a bad thing. Take a look at the links Biggs and I posted above, and you'll see this has been an issue for over a year.

So your examples as to why Crits in Arena are bad all involve melee fighting a heavy?
Complaining about a 2% chance for a crit rocket to hit you at the beginning of the map is one thing, these examples are something else entirely.

These are -some- examples or how silly random crits in Arena are. If you bothered to read any of the other threads we linked to, there are tons of more in defferent situations. It's an unneeded things in Arena to have them on, and it's soemthing that's been asked for for over a year now. I do now DF was contemplating it back in 09, but it's been quite some time and I was hoping for an update.

I was thinking about adding a vote to the motd when I get unlazy.

That would be awesome DF!

Thanks for the update DF.
